Suit hanger



Patented July 19, 1932 PATENT OFFEE HENRY J. CUSCADEN, F HIGHIAND PARK, ILLINOIS SUIT HANGER Application filed April 28,

This invention relates to suit hangers and has for its object to provide a combined coat and trousers hanger, the latter being ofiset with respect to the former so that trousers supported thereby will lie outside of a supported coat or coat and vest.

' Another object consists in the provision of a device of the character described in which the trousers hanger is swingably attached to the coat hanger so that the trousers support ing portion may be moved farther away from the coat hanger for ready placement of coat and vest and trousers upon the device.

Still another object consists in the provision of such a device in which the trousers han er is provided with an outwardly exten ing engagement member or means for support from a wall hook, or the like, which engagement means may also be utilized to swing outwardly the trousers hanger andto maintain the same in such position with respect to the coat hanger.

These and other objects will be more full described and set forth in the following specification and shown in the accompanying drawing, in which Fig. 1 is a perspective View of an embodiment of my device showing coat and trousers in supported position and with the trousers hanger moved outwardly some- 3O coat hanger.

2 is a front elevation of an embodiment of my device.

Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the same.

Fig. 4 is aview similar to Fig. 3 showing the trousers hanger in partially tilted position.

Like numerals refer to like elements throughout the drawing.

10 indicates generally a curved ba'r forming a coat hanger of conventional construction which may be modified to suit the desire or requirements of the user.

11 indicates generally the trousers hanger comprising the looped trousers supporting portion 10a, including the horizontal bar 10? on which the trousers may be supported in folded position as illustrated in Fig. l in well known manner. In the embodiment shown the sides of the loop are convergent what from its normal spaced relation to the '1929. Serial No. $58,229.

from the bar 10b to the upwardly directed portions 100 from which extend downwardly the parallel spaced portions 100l which in turn lead to the aiiixing portions 10-0 which are mounted upon the upper intermediate part of the coat hanger 10, being secured in swinging or pivotal relation thereto by the eyes 12. From the portions 10-e extends upwardly the engagement portion 10f which in the form shown is formed at its upper end with the hook or eye 10g adapted for ready engagement with a wall hook, a nail or other supporting means.

The hanger 11 is preferably formed of strong wire which may readily be bent or formed into the contour shown but which will be of sufiicient strength and rigidity for use in the manner described below.

I find it desirable in the use of my device to grip the outwardly projecting engagement portion 10f--10g and tilt the loop 10a to or toward horizontal position from its nor mal position illustrated in Fig. 3, for example, wherein it will be seen that the loop 10a 1S normally offset or spaced from the coat hanger 10. After this tilting or swinging of the loop 10a the coat 15 (with vest underneath in customary manner) may be readily placed upon the coat hanger 10 Without interference from the trousers hanger. Similarly, while in tilted position the trousers 16 may be readily placed in folded condition upon the bar 10b as illustrated in Fig. 1. Thereafter the members may be allowed to assume their normal position and the hook 10g placed upon a supporting hook, bar

or nail (not shown);

By this arrangement the trousers are sup ported externally of the coat or coat and vest so that there is no danger of their being wrinkled or wrongly folded by interference from the coat. Similarly both coat and trousers may be readily placed upon their hangers or removed therefrom with no interference or difficulty and with more ease than in present day devices intended for. combined support of trousers and coat. The coat hanger. may be arranged for support of the coat and vest in a position the reverse of that shown if so desired.

By attaching the trousers hanger at the intermediate portion of the coat hanger 10 and by extending the trousers hanger upwardly from the coat hanger adjacentits points of attachment there is no interference with the coat or coat and vest mounted upon the hanger as the neck portion of. such garments will leave the bar 10 uncovered at that portion.

An advantage of my device is the ease of removal of the trousers without interference from the coat and vest, this being a real advantage for the hurried dresser.

It will be obvious that myde-vice is suscepti ble of modification and variation from the form illustrated and described and I 'do not wish to be restricted to such form except as limited thereto by the appended claims, properly interpreted with regard to the prior art.

What I claim is:

1. A suit hanger comprising a coat supporting member and a trousers supporting; mem- P 'trousers supporting member being swingably attached to said coat supporting member.

3. suit hanger comprising a coat supporting member and a trousers supporting member formed of wire and having a looped trousers supporting portion and an outwardly projecting engagement portion, said trousers supporting member being swingably attached to said coat supporting member, said trousers hanger portion adjacent its attachment to said coat supporting member being directed upwardly and then downwardly in spaced relation thereto.

4. A suit hanger comprising a coat supporting member and a trousers supporting member swingably attached thereto, and a main supporting means proj ecting' outwardly from sai trousers supporting member and rigidly attached thereto, whereby saidsupporting means may be operated to swing said trousers supporting member relative to said coat supporting member.

5. A suit hanger comprising a coat supporting member of desired conformation, a trousers supportin member having a supporting portion 0 set relative to said coat supporting member, and being swingably attached to the latter at the top thereof, said trousers suppprting member being further provided wit an outwardly extending engageable portion whereby. said engageable portion may be operated to swing said trousers supporting member relative to said coat supporting member.

6. A suit hanger comprising a coat supporting member of desired conformation, a trousers supporting member swingably attached thereto at the to thereof, said trousers supporting member a jacent-its attachment to saidcoat supporting member being upwardly and then outwardly and downwardly directed. v

7. A suit hanger comprising a coat supporting member an a trousers supporting memher, said trousers supporting member being attached to said coat supporting member and being spaced from said coat supportin member and overlying a coat supported thereby whenin normal position, said trousers suporting member being movable with trousers 1n supported position about its axis of attachment, and a main supporting member attached to and swingable with said trousers supporting member about said axis. 4
